Four Fulbright grant opportunities
designed to support visiting
scholars are available through the Council
for International Exchange
of Scholars, says Pat McCune of the
International Institute. The
faculty and institutional grants are
administered by CIES, located in
Washington, D.C.

The
Scholar-In-Residence Program supports visiting lecturers in
the arts,
humanities, social sciences and related fields on campus
for a semester or
academic year. Institutional proposals should be
designed to develop new
area studies, global studies or international
programs, or to broaden and
deepen programs already in place.
Application deadline is Nov.
1.

The Occasional Lecturer Program provides travel support
for
Fulbright visiting scholars who are already in the United States
to
guest lecture at other campuses. These scholars may be invited at
any
time during the academic year. Grants are awarded on a
first-come,
first-served basis.

The European Union
Scholar-In-Residence Program provides funds for
a host institution to
bring a European Union official or academic to
campus as a resident fellow
for one or both semesters of the academic
year. The resident fellow is not
expected to teach regular course
offerings but instead participate in a
wide variety of activities.
Deadline for applications is Nov.

NATO Advanced Research Fellowships and Institutional
Grants

States
citizenship. Projects must be completed by June 30, 1998.
